I hope some day the tedious part of what you do, can be automated (AI?), so that you (or others) can spend their time on whatever aspect is most interesting. Vs all the grunt work needed to get to a point where you understand what you're looking at.
Btw. any 4 bit cpus/uC's in your collection? Back in the day I had a small databook (OKI, early '90s iirc) that had a bunch of those. These seem to have sort of disappeared (eg. never saw a pdf of that particular databook on sites like Bitsavers).
